Advantages: leaves your hands free to play and wash hair

Disadvantages: can be difficult to get your child out

When I had my 1st child I used to take him in the bath with me as I thought that this was the safest and easiest way to bath him. He had his independence but I was there so there was no chance of him slipping etc.

And when my 2nd came along the 3 of us managed to fit in the bath together and it was fine but after the arrival of number 3 I thought this is never going to work. As she got to 6 months and the 3 of them wanted to get into the bath together I decided to see what type of bath support was available.

I had seen this type in Argos but stumbled across the Saftey 1st one in Ethel Austin at £4.99. Recently money has been tighter (dont we all know it) so saving £3 compared to the Argos version was a bargain to me.

When I got it home and unpacked it, it had been flat packed, I didnt even look at the instructions. All the pieces were clearly shown in the picture and easily screwed together in under 5 minutes. There is 3 round poles made of white durable plastic that keep the seat part and round ring top part together. There are 4 large suction cups underneath that stick the whole thing securely to the bath. The cups have little tabs at the side to pull to release them from the bath.

One using it I found it really easy to put my daughter into and she loved it. She is now 21 months and only stopped using it a few months ago. The only issue I sometimes had was getting her out off it as the bar sometimes caught her legs, similar to getting a larger child out of a supermarket trolley.

This has served us well and is still in great condition and is about to be handed down to my new nephew.

Summary: A fantiastic creation, perfect for letting little ones have more independence.
